Excerpt from Beginners French
The old method of teaching modern languages was training only the eye. The new methods aim to train the ear, the tongue and the eye. The author has tried to bring together a set of exercises giving to each of these organs a fair field of activity.
Up-to-date teachers are anxious to use French in their classes as soon as possible, but very few elementary books, if any, help them to carry out their cherished ambition.
It is the aim of the present volume to enable such masters, however inexperienced they may be, to make use of the conversational method from the very start.
A glance through the book will suffice to understand its arrangement. It is simple and methodical.
Rules. - The book contains all grammar rules that first and second-year high school students or first-year college students are expected to be familiar with. Every lesson begins with a few general rules, the examples coming first for obvious reasons. It was decided to write the rules in English for the convenience of the learner. However, as early as possible and especially when reviewing, the teacher is advised to translate them into easy French and to require his pupils to recite them in the same form.
May it also be suggested here that teachers of languages should make a more general use of the Socratic or inductive method?
